    The wheel is of a good build, feeling solid and robust. The pedal assembly does feel a bit more cheap. It does feel more plastic compared to the wheel but is adequate. The feedback on the wheel is superb giving you heads up when the car is under or over steering so you can correct the slide. Yes it is more expensive than some models on the market but it works and if feels overall far more solid. As an entrance model it will be quite adequate for most players. I would say it is also a good idea to get the metal frame to support the wheel and pedal assembly as well. Overall, a very good buy.

    Bought for my son to use on racing games on his PC.
    He says it’s good.
    Only complaint is that the box it came in looked lite it had been rolling around in the back of a van for 6 months. Very torn, damaged. Luckily the content was ok.

    Wheel works well, had mine for over five years & it’s still going strong.
    Force feedback is fairly good although not particularly strong, & given the price that’s fair enough.
    I use this on a PS4 & PC, and its used mostly for racing/rally games & ETS2/ATS.
    Wheel supports the majority of the racing games of the PS4 & most PC games that offer wheel support.

    The only issue I’ve encountered with the wheel has been with the D-Pad which has lost some of its precision, pressing left now seems to also activate up more often than not.
    This wheel also supports all the Thrustmaster add-ons, such and the TH8A gear stick, and the three pedal sets, including the T3PA pro.
    The steering wheel itself isn’t interchangeable like on the T300 & T500, and there are no screw holes on the wheel unit base for mounting it to a stand. Fortunately the clamp does work well, even though the plastic knob for tightening it up looks a tad fragile at first sight.

    The supplied pedals are somewhat disappointing, there’s only a brake & accelerator, the pedal unit is of plastic construction & as such rather lightweight. It tends to shift around if you jam the brakes on hard!
    The pedals also don’t offer much resistance when pushed and this gives a rather unrealistic feel especially when using the brake.
    I managed to break the flimsy spring fitted to the brake pedal in under 12 months., Thrustmaster did supply a free replacement under the warranty however.
    I’ve since upgraded to a three pedal set which greatly improves the things.

    The wheel unit has the power supply built in and when in use there in an internal cooling fan which can be heard, it isn’t particularly loud thankfully.

    Wheel rotation can be set using a special button & the D-pad on the wheel unit. There are 5 preset options available: 270, 360, 540, 900 or 1080 degrees.

    On the PC the supplied configuration application allows further tweaking of the rotation and full calibration of the wheel & pedal settings.

    Can’t fault this wheel really. Have used for Need for Speed, Grand Turismo, F12020 and Dirt5. No issues on any! Force feedback is good, quality of wheel is nice, paddles work well with solid clicks! For a first timer getting into racing games, look no further!

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersThe Thrustmaster T150 is not the best wheel with pedals on the market but it’s probably the best wheel you can get for the price. It is compatible with PC, PS3 and PS4 (it has a switch to pick which one), it has all the functionality needed to work with the Playstation, it comes with brake and accelerate pedals and even has paddle gear shifters. The best thing though is that it has force feedback, proper force feedback which is difficult to get for this sort of money.
    I’ve played a lot of games with this wheel, from rally driving to street racing to Formula One and it’s great fun. The only minor issue that I had was with F1, when taking long smooth bends rather than sharp bends, the force feedback tends to be a notchy around the centre of the steering. To counter this I went into the options and lowered the force feedback a bit.
    Like I say, it’s not the best wheel you can get but if you don’t want to spend loads more money then this wheel is great for the price

    Very good wheel for the money

    Overall, the wheel is fantastic for the price, the force feedback is great to have fun with, and overall the wheel is great for casual play, especially for its price. The pedals are not great (They are not very grippy and they are plastic) but obviously don’t expect too much for this model. HOWEVER I would be cautious on the type of surface you want to clamp the wheel on. In my case I own the IKEA Malm Desk and the clamp was too small, luckily I was able to use a clamp from a different racing wheel I owned, but if I didn’t have it then I would not have been able to clamp it onto my desk. What I’m saying is make sure that you’re desk or surface is at least less than around 2.5cm otherwise the clamp will probably be to small to clamp it to your surface.

    Golden Review Award: 11 From Our UsersMy first ffb steering wheel!
    My initial impression is based on the fact I had to return a faulty t300 rs (from a different website) I felt a little disappointment cos it’s so plasticky, for want of a better word.!
    Upon start up, it spins into life. It’s has a soothing, calming sound. The shift paddle is metal and clicked like it is made well. I could feel the gears turning but not annoying and clunky. I chose the t150 over the g29 because the g29 is very loud when it rumbles, not ideal for late night sessions. Plus the t150 spins quicker, for some reason that feels important to me.
    The pedals are horrible and I regret not buying the pro set, which comes with the t3pa conical brake mod. I mean Project cars 2 is a difficult game without wheel and peddles, but the difficulty will increase without something to dampen the brakes and prevent them locking up. The only improvement I’ve seen against many reviews is that at the back of the gas pedal there’s a foam insert which dampen the sound of peddle hitting the peddle base. I have installed a brake mod myself as you can see in the pic. It’s a rubber snake!! Costs 1.50 in asda. I call it “snake mod” lol.
    Easy installation and firmware update improved the performance. The ffb is more stronger than I thought, giving a lot to fight against. You can apply a lot of in game adjustments before clipping. The clamp is annoying me mostly, not getting in the way but I might break it if I tighten it any more. There’s no hard mount option, hence 4 stars.
    I would recommend this to anyone for their first wheel, just use this brake mod!

    A great entry level wheel

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersI was really impressed to start with, the wheel feels very good and responsive, the pedals are OK bring the cheap plastic ones, but overall really enhanced my sim racing experience, up until today, literally only just over 3montbs of having my wheel, I have used literally a couple hours a day and some days I will have a longer session but to my point, my wheel has decided to die/burn out, now I’m not being funny, yes it’s the cheapest force feedback wheel you can buy, but just under 200 pounds is a lot of money to be paying for something that lasts all of 3 months, I’m hoping I may receive a replacement or thrustmaster might even repair my wheel but I’m not holding my breath, unless you can afford to pay 160 pound every month for a new wheel after tour old one breaks then steer clear.

    Owned for about 18 months now and purchased for initially for Driveclub on the PS4.
    I had the old Logitech Force Feedback on the PS3 for games like Gran Tourismo and F1 but alas this was not compatible with the PS4.
    The Wheel itself is good, its Plastic but decent materials and I particularly like the Metal Paddle Shifters that seem high quality, have a reassuring ‘click’ and rotate with the wheel as they should.
    The pedals are Plastic but a good standard, however, could do with some extra resistance at full travel, there are many ways to Mod these with Rubber Pads shown on Youtube although I haven’t done this.
    To be honest, they were OK with DriveClub but I couldn’t really match my Controller times with them as I tended to get a lot of oversteer so the car would spin out in places the Controller didn’t so they gathered dust for a while while my Son used them for Games like ‘The Crew’ and NFS)
    However now on PC1 and now GT Sport they’ve come into their own and in my opinion, a must-have addition to any SIMCADE racer, the level of control you have using a Wheel and especially Pedals to throttle your Acceleration and Braking takes your experience to another level especially when used with Wheel Stand (i have the budget 50 unit that can be bought on ebay or Amazon and its just about ok for the money)
    There are better (more expensive) wheels out there for sure from the G29 to the Fanatech CSL Elite but as an entry level to Force Feedback Wheels you really can’t go wrong, also comes with a 2yr Warranty.
    I bought mine on discount at PC World for 109 but for around 160 it is still the best sub 200 console FF Racing Wheel you can buy.
    Enjoy

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersLook great, works great. After plugging in and installing drivers/software it seemed a little ‘clunky’ when turned due to the nature of its steering system but after a while it all smoothed out until it has a nice resistance. The paddle shifts are great as they are made of metal and have a very solid feel to them. Really there is nothing bad that can be said about this steering wheel unless it is minor complaint about the quality of the foot pedals. While it is better than those of previous wheels by Thrustmaster the design of them is the same. At least now the brake pedal has a rubber stop to provide resistance when braking hard. Still, something with a little more adjustability would be nice considering the price. Not an issue as far as performance goes though so still worth 5 stars.

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersThis is my first time with a steering wheel, bought because the price seemed way more reasonable to a first time buyer compared with the normal 300+ rigs. The quality is very nice, would have liked more metal since the paddles feel great. The pedals are fine for me, i stuck a bit of paper at the back of the pedals to stop them banging on the back when I slam the brakes on. FFB works fine for me and have not had setup problems for Project Cars on PS4 and GT5&6 on PS3, at worst they see it as the T300 which it is not all that far from. A few tweaks in menus here and there (such as 900 degree steering angle) and this thing really feels like cracking value.

    Steering wheel is perfect nothing wrong with it, only issue im having is the pedals keep moving on the carpet the amount of pressure you put when braking makes the part of the pedal lift of the ground could just be my heavy feet but either way I play f1 2015 and absolutely love it the feedback is quality far better than the logitech gt driving force I had previously

    The model I received from Amazon was faulty but I since went out and purchased this elsewhere.

    As a wheel at the cheaper end of the market this is pretty decent. there’s some driver weirdness when using it on a PC with Grid Autosport but once you tweak deadzones everything’s lovely. Strong forces, no dead spot (as with Logitech geared wheels)

    Also used it for Dirt Rally on PS4

    I had this purchased as a birthday present and I have to say I am thrilled with it! For its price, I can’t imagine you’d be able to find a competitor. The wheel is sturdy and relatively easy to set up (I’d recommend two people, though!) and has a professional feel to it when you’re racing.

    Setting up the wheel in game is extremely simple and the force feedback can also be changed in-game. I’d highly recommend a stand for this wheel if you’re going to be using it sat on your sofa and using it on a TV. The stand I got was this one https://www.amazon.co.uk/Ultimate-Steering-Wheel-Stand-Black/dp/B006GNMOZE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1466338162&sr=8-1&keywords=racing+wheel+stand It works well with this wheel, although again I’d recommend two people to construct it!

    It works on PS3 and PS4, although I have not tried to race it with it on the PC yet. There is a sliding switch on the side of the wheel that allows the settings to be changed for PS3/PS4 use.

    If you have any questions, please leave them below and I’ll try and answer them.

    Having not used a race wheel since i had a PS2 i wasn’t sure what to expect. I had been using a wired 360 controller for playing racing games before this. I have to say that this wheel is great, it takes a little bit of time to set up but once it is it makes racing games so much better to play. The build quality is good and the buttons and pedals are smooth to press. It took a few hours to get use to using a wheel but now its so much better. Also for Project cars because it is designed for playstation you can use the wheel buttons to navigate the menus.

    If your not fanatical about your driving games (ie just want the wheel for Truck Simulator/Elite buggy like me) but have got a modest bit of cash to spare, it’s early days but this is probably the perfect ‘sensible’ wheel for you. Cheaper wheels just have a hopelessly small full lock. The force back is pretty good depending upon how well the game software leverages it. Frankly the wheel is probably pretty good if you are fanatical about more exacting racing games but can’t justify the double cost of the T300, but I am not the person to judge.
    Software/drivers seem to be a little bit fussy about which of my USB hub/controller networks it is plugged into. One USB chain the software freezes when I try to configure it, another chain and it doesn’t. It’s the only device that suffers this.

    A solid wheel that works well with Project Cars on PS4, so much better than a controller when you are forced to use manual gears by an online host (just couldn’t cope with manual changes on the controller). Not sure I am significantly faster, but this helps you to smooth out the turns – feels good when you get in the groove and nail some fast laps. I used to have a racing licence 15 years ago, and this is helping me get those kicks again. Have just got a Playseat challenge to go with the wheel, and it is a great combination. Will be aiming to get good use of this over winter months.

    Golden Review Award: 12 From Our UsersAn amazing wheel for the price. Having used the T300, I don’t understand why it is much more expensive. The T150 has the same turning ability and brilliant and sometimes violent force feedback – you do need to hold the wheel to keep the car going straight sometimes. The quality of the wheel is excellent, the T300 feels a bit more premium but in all honestly at around 150 the T150 is a great quality wheel, at 100-110, it’s an unbelievable wheel. The pedals are not as premium as some from Logitech, but I haven’t had any issues with them, they allow minor adjustments of brake and accelerator mid-corner to balance the car well. The paddles are a good length and have a very satisfying click, much like BMW SMG or DCT.
    As another reviewer said the T150 reviews didn’t initially reveal much, but having good experiences with the T300 and less than half the price, I thought it’s got to be worth a try and I’m extremely glad I did. I use mine with a Playseat Challenge, which probably brings the biggest disappointment is that you have to use the table top mounting system which may not suit all fitting platforms, the wheel cannot be mounted with screws, although I think a bit of modifying with some metal or wood could easily sort this and not be an issue. The wheel belts and gears can be heard when turning but this is to be as expected and is not loud in any way to distract from the game or be an issue in the slightest.
    As said above, I use mine with a gaming chair and Project Cars on PS4, this is a fantastic set up for semi-serious gaming. Just to note on the PS4, plug the wheel in to the PS4 and power, then hit the PS button before starting Project Cars so the wheel registers as the main controller (I also use the wheel buttons to select Project Cars to be certain).

    Golden Review Award: 11 From Our UsersI bought this wheel for my PS4 after Logitech shafted its old customers by not giving support for their older wheels. Glad that this was reduced to 100 as that’s my maximum price point for a wheel really and FFB and 900 degree (This is 1080!) were a must before I even considered even buying one. The wheel is great and has good force feedback, feels very fluid. Be prepared to change some of the settings in Project CARS though as that’s where most of my time has been spent – and playing it. It’s significanly worth noting you can change the wheel degrees by holding the mode button amd pressing left or right, depending on which direction you wish to go. Drive Club works perfect without changing anything, steering is 1:1 in in-car view, you can catch the car before you slide, you can feel the rear tyres slipping etc. I am happy with it overall, my only complaints are that the power and usb cords are too short and the clamp is not universal table friendly, meaning if there’s anything below the suface of the table, it will not clamp down. Bear this in mind before buying.

    I have purchased a wheel stand pro with it as without this I would say it’d be near enough impossible to use.

    The one thing that would prevent top marks for me , is the pathetically short power lead.

    Golden Review Award: 109 From Our UsersI bought this to play with Project Cars on PS4, which is a particularly difficult game with a standard PS4 controller, as it’s a proper sim and with the analogue stick it’s just not viable. So anyway, I was eyeing up both the Logitech G29 and the Thrustmaster T300, which are both around the 300 mark. I read a few articles about the T150 before it came out and to be honest, they didn’t give much away. The one thing I really noticed from all the forums and previews were that the Thrustmasters have a belt force feedback system, while the Logitech have an older and more notchy technology, but has a better set of pedals. Anyway, I went for the T150 mainly due to price – while I could afford the more expensive one, but my head (and my wife) couldn’t justify spending 300 on what is essentially a Playstation toy. Anyway, more specific review below:

    Wheel – it’s great. It’s smallish and made of rubber rather than leather, but it definitely doesn’t feel cheap. It’s sturdy and solid and comes with a clamp to put it to a table or a wheel stand. You can’t “hard mount” this, but it’s still sturdy if you’ve got a table or something to fix it to that’s less than 6cm in thickness. The force feedback is really good. I enjoy real life go karting and have done a track day racing around brands hatch a couple of years ago in an M3 and a single seater Formula 1st (not Formula 1) type car and this wheel is also enough to make your arms ache after 45 minutes or so, if not quite the same strength that you get from the real thing. It’s smooth and you don’t get those notches, which I think you will possibly get from the G29 from what I’ve read. All in all, I’m really pleased with the the wheel. It doesn’t have an analogue stick, but other than that has all the PS4 buttons you need. One thing I’m trying to work out how to do is be able to use the wheel with automatic gears, which I can’t work out how to do, but actually, I’ve ended up getting much better with the paddle shifters, which are really good and feel similar to a Mercedes C Class I test drove in real life a few months ago.

    Pedals – now this was the real worry about buying the T150 or even the T300, as the pedals aren’t meant to be to the spec of the G29. Also, they don’t have a clutch pedal – just have throttle and brake pedals. However, I was pleasantly surprised. Possibly, I’d imagined from all the reviews that they would be flimsy and light, but in reality, while the throttle pedal is light (just as in a real car), the brake has a lot more resistance and isn’t dissimilar to a real brake pedal. The only downside is that once you press each pedal fully, the pedal hits the plastic at the back of the pedal, rather than being cushioned, which yes… feels slightly cheaper, but to be honest, you get used to it quickly and you certainly don’t lose any of the fun factor. I’ve seen online that you can modify it with a bit of rubber by sticking this on the back of the pedals.

    Summary – I’m really pleased. This is still 160 worth of kit, so it’s not cheap, but it’s great fun, it’s smooth and my cornering was massively improved on Project Cars, shaving off around a second or two from my lap times. I’m a little bit addicted, although for now I’m not using a wheel stand. I may also end up buying the Omega GT Wheelstand, but for now I’m on the floor in an uncomfortable position, but it’s worth it – great fun, addictive and the pedals really aren’t as bad as I thought they would be. I won’t be upgrading the pedals, as some people might want to. If you’re not an overly serious gamer and you enjoy racing games and want something that will help you drive more realistically on Project Cars, while making you more competitive, this does the trick. Looks good too… I’d recommend.
